Just when you think Awards Season is over, here come the WERRRK.com 2018 (-ish) Drag Awards, recognizing the best in drag, entertainment, fashion and LGBTQ achievement! We’re running a little late this year due to being super busy (See here and here!) but better late than never as the nominating stage is starting now, where your vote will help decide the winners!

You will be able to vote once every 24 hours in each category so don’t let your favorite queens, artists, songs, movies and moments go unrecognized. And this year, we have an easy domain to bring you back here to vote each day, www.WERRRKAwards.com!

As always, it is very hard to narrow these lists down to just a handful of nominees so we do our research, we talk to experts and we come up with our list of nominees for the year and do our absolute best not to slight people. No list of this kind is ever going to be perfect but there is no malice intended towards anyone left out! And now, that brief disclaimer aside, on with the nominations! (See the 2017 Drag Awards here!)
